Had to run some errands in the east bay and came across this place around 2:45pm on a Friday. They charge $13.99 for lunch which is an insane price in the Bay Area! The waitstaff is pleasant and explained how the pricing worked. We were worried cuz we thought we might overlap into dinner prices which started at 3:30 (17.99) but she said as long as we didn't eat the dinner items we were fine. They had sushi and chinese food so not much more you could ask for. There's a wide variety for honestly, it's not bad bot it's not great either. It's about quantity not quality so if you want a lot of food and am not picky then you'd prolly like it! Most items were a bit bland and just a little off. For example, the sushi rice could use a little more rice wine, the shrimp could have used a little salt and pepper and been a bit crispier. I ate a bunch of sushi cuz who can resist? Bit the tastiest items were the onion rings (reminded me of Jack in the Box), the fried chicken wings (who doesn't love fried chicken wings?) and surprisingly the garlic string beans and chow mein. The place is large and the people nice. Lots of people coming in to eat so it's a popular spot. I don't think you'd ever have to wait for a table. Would I eat here again? Maybe cuz the price is reasonable and there are a few items I enjoyed. read more

This is my third time here and finally had a chance to do a review. If you are looking for an affordable buffet, this is the place. $14.99 plus tax, you can't beat the price for the variety of foods you get. I love all the soups here, the sticky rice in the pineapple was delicious as well as the shrimps. Sushis were not bad. I also enjoyed the soft serve ice cream and pastries. Overall, I would come back again. read more

This place is Amazing for what it is. The atmosphere is gorgeous the staff in my experience has been very friendly and kind. The food is good too! Especially the honey walnut prawns. Price is unbelievable for what's offered. Ignore these negative picky eaters... if you like Asian food this is an excellent choice. I wish the one in Dublin never closed. They also allow to go orders which is rare in a buffet setting... again I love this place give it a try. read more

Probably one of the most great experiences I had! This Buffett fills my need for verity and value. The service was great! The food was fresh made. The low light and decors felt like a vibe! read more

We had a great experience. Loved the friendly service and food variety. Our picky eater kid also ate well!

Highly recommend this place! The sesame balls and chicken wings were especially delicious, and the noodles were also really good. The service was great. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back again! read more

Tastes really good. Great service. We will definitely go there again! Love it! A lot of choices for both adults and kids!

This is more on the 2.5* side. Honestly the price point is great, but it lacked a lot. I'll rank 3 as to not sway the rating. This is really a standard AYCE Chinese buffet. They mix a lot of items at mid-level quality that hit and miss on a lot options. I do rank at a level of comparable Chinese Buffets, taking into account the price point. First off the thing that sets their apart from every Chinese buffet I've ever been to, is their chow mein is actually decent. Flavor is there. Noodles are a good texture. I found myself eating this with every plate I got. "Honey glazed shrimp" was decent too, as well as the Cilantro pork and General Tso. The "sauce on the side" S&S chicken was also a nice touch. The Dim sum was just OK. The Hargow had hard edges on 1of3, and the Siu Mai was typical of buffets, not good. Soup was a let down. H&S was flavorless. Wonton Broth was overly watered down, though the wontons, were OK. Sushi was also a huge step down. I know it's not supposed to be amazing, but the ratio was bad on top of bad quality salmon. "Wasabi" had no flavor or heat. Rolls were ok. Ban chan was ok, especially the octopus salad; and dessert outside the "fly traps" was just meh. (Some fly traps were stale though) Fruit options were decent. Service was good in terms of keeping things stocked and removing plates. A well oiled machine. Because of this it's easy to ask for water. Inside was every bit as typical for an establishment like this. Overall I think if you're on a budget and need calories, this place is great. But I'd like to spend a little more for a step up in quality. read more

July 6 2025 3.6 stars China Wall Buffet has a nice spot in a strip mall setting right off Willow Pass road in Concord. This strip mall should get a cool nickname like maybe Concord's Food Crawl. There are so many food operations for you within a 2 block walk. I checked out Yelp before we departed and Yelpers have been raking this restaurant over the coals for years. I went in with low expectations and left happier than I expected to. The buffet has a ton of food choices. We were there for dinner so there was plenty of fried crab, shrimp, and clams. The shame about it is they manage to overcook too many of their foodstuffs. Chewy prawns, chewy clams, tough as a golf ball "siomai". You might get a suprise bit of sand or shell when you are expecting an uneventful chew as well. This is much like eating on a cruise ship with all the beautiful foods, only the Chef missed the boat. The food tray areas and in fact the entire restaurant is kept clean and organized. The staff is friendly and quick to clean up a table so the guests have space to soil more plates. Happily there is no noticeably annoying mood music being pumped in. The restaurant is brat friendly so you can bring along offspring if you've got them. The winner here is the price. Two meals and a coke for $40 before tip (we got a few bucks off- old codgers discount). Where can two people eat all the muscles, Manilla clams, pepper crab, and sushi etc. they want for $40? Again, most all the dishes are prepared in an underwhelming fashion. Know that walking in the door and you will leave sated, happy, and with a few bucks still clinging to the inside of your wallet. read more

China Wall Buffet - Buffet menu - Chinese Near Me - Concord, California

Went for lunch on Veterans Day with a group of 13 people. The person who arranged the gathering called the restaurant to ask about securing a table for all of us. The restaurant never mentioned that the lunch price for Veterans Day would be increased to the dinner price, so it was about $5 more per person ($17.95 per person). When we inquired about the increase in price, we were only told, "Well, it's posted on the door." The person arranging the gathering called on the phone, so she wouldn't have seen a post on the door!! Oh, well! The offerings on the steam tables were varied and plentiful, but none of it seemed particularly good. I think the best thing I had was the fried chicken drummette listed as "chicken wings". Nothing else seemed to have enough flavor to make it stand out. The sushi all tasted the same with not much flavor. The clams with black beans were under seasoned and the "baked crab" was really just "krab". Absolutely no drinks were included in the price except water. No knives were offered, so you have to try to cut larger pieces with your fork or eat with your hands. Needless to say, I was not very impressed with anything. So glad the people in my group made up for the disappointment of the food. read more

Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to eat. We came here cause we were in town and wanted something somewhat quick to eat and we couldn't decide so we settled for this buffet. The service was okay, all of the staff we interacted with were very nice. The food was very plain. We had the lo mein, pot stickers, garlic string beans (the only good item we had), mussels, salt and pepper shrimp, egg drop soup (which was green), general tso's chicken, jalapeño chicken, and salmon. Out of everything the garlic string beans were the only item we feel comfortable recommending. The plaza this buffet is in has plenty of other options, I suggest going to one of those instead of here. read more

I've upgraded my review to 5 stars! I've been coming every few months and am happy to see the place popping like it used to pre-Covid. I like that they've added different things to the menu and haven't really raised their prices like everyone else has. Today was the first time I saw a wider range of cold seafood and sesame noodles. Very nice and plentiful selection! Their fried chicken wings are one of the best in town. Staff is really quick to replenish the bins of food, whether it be the wings or crabs. I remember some restaurants wouldn't fill the popular ones too quickly but that's not the case at China Wall! Staff is very friendly and fast at clearing away empty plates and refilling drinks. Class Act, China Wall! read more

My 3 senior friends and I eat out every Wednesday. China Wall is one of our favorite lunch places. It has lots of variety, good fresh quality food and most importantly, the food trays get filled constantly. I'm Chinese and love some of the items not found elsewhere: black bean spareribs, braised pig's feet and stuffed tofu. Other excellent items are the fried chicken wings and salt, pepper shrimp. My friends love the 3 types of soup offered. The nice variety of beautiful sushi is also a draw. The lady greeter and counter lady are always very friendly. Paul, our waiter, is very attentive and a very nice guy. All in all, going to China Wall is a pleasant and very reasonably priced place to go for a good meal. There's definitely something for everyone. read more

Not much variety. Food is alright. I'll come back if I have no other choice. Casual dining. Service is okay. I liked that they clean your table fast. They collected used plates fast. So we are mostly crawfish and shrimps. Shrimps were overcooked. Idk what to say about the crawfish since I don't eat them all the time, but I did notice they were rubbery. Desserts eh. They were dry and stale. read more

Love this place. The food is super good staff is friendly , and an affordable place . Recommend

We were seated right away, which honestly was the only positive part of the experience. The host took our drink order and we went to get food, but when we returned to the table our drinks still hadn't arrived. It was just me and my little brother, and we were almost finished eating before we ever received them. I finally tried to get another hostess's attention (a woman with long hair), and before I could even finish my sentence she rudely snapped, "Okay, okay!" On top of that, the same host was waving the catering menu directly in front of another customer's face, so close it was almost touching her nose. To make matters worse, another employee was clearing tables while on her phone and taking her time instead of actually cleaning them. Overall, the service was extremely unprofessional and disappointing. read more

I'm ngl this place is buns... the only reason it gets two stars instead of one is cuz the price was under $20 for dinner. If it was more I would've been mad. The best food here is probably store bought: e.g. steamed buns, har gow, some kind of mango dessert. The taste of everything else ranged from okay to downright questionable. At some point I started questioning if the meat I was eating was even really meat... I used to come here as a child. The last time I came here (before my recent December 2025 visit) was probably 2009 or 2010, and my family stopped going because we got food poisoning. Unfortunately I feel that the food quality has gotten cheaper since then. At least I didn't get food poisoning this time... read more

The food was okay, we enjoyed the flavors even though it was mid. The service was okay? it was weird. a bit too overcompensating and was desperate for a tip (he watched as we wrote it down and said the tip aloud when he saw it. - in a questionable tone) It was rude and uncomfortable and while the service is okay on paper, we were not. We couldn't enjoy our food and time - the whole thing just pissed us off. read more

If I could give this place negative stars, I would . I only leave reviews when an experience is genuinely bad, and this was one of those times. At the sushi bar, I took a roll from the back of the plate for sanitation reasons and was immediately yelled at by an employee first in another language, then in English while she waved her hands and caused a scene in front of other customers. It was aggressive, unnecessary, and embarrassing. After returning to my table and requesting the check from a different employee, she blatantly stood over me while I paid, watching the receipt like a hawk as I wrote the tip. The behavior was uncomfortable and inappropriate, and nearby people clearly noticed. Between the hostile staff behavior, lack of professionalism, and hygiene concerns, this is not a place I would ever return to or recommend. Do yourself a favor and save your money by not eating here. read more

This is my first time here to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it did not disappoint! The food quality is excellent, and the trays are constantly replenished with a variety of choices, including crab, shrimp, squid, beans, noodles, rice, and broccoli beef, along with fruits and ice cream, just to name a few. The wait staff is attentive and friendly, and the pricing is very reasonable. I will definitely come back! read more

A good buffet with a good price. I went here around lunch time and the price for lunch was below $15 especially for an AYCE place. The service was also good, hostess asked if I wanted a booth or a table when I came in & glad to have a choice on that decision. The hostess also made sure I had enough water while I was dinning here. The dinner area was spacious & the dinning plates were clean. There's a good selection of various food dishes ranging from fried chicken, chow main & sushi. All the food I got from here was delicious & filling. Super duper worth especially for the price. read more

It's important to go in with the mindset that buffets are not supposed to be gourmet. With that being said, I'm extremely impressed with this place. Here you get a big selection of food items, decent food, and cheap prices. Seriously--$12.99 per person for lunch? Count me in! On the outside it can be pretty unassuming, but once you walk in, you're met with a huge, spacious interior. There are a lot of seating options, and the food area is located in the far end of the building. The inside looks and feels clean, and the ambience is peaceful. The food selection is what you'd find in a typical chinese buffet: chow mein, fried rice, veggies, fried options, soups, sushi, fruits, ice cream, etc. My personal favorites are the sauteed beans, sole filet, and sushi. Overall pretty decent quality food for an affordable buffet. Service is good; the waiters take your drink orders once you sit down and periodically collect your empty plates to keep the table clean. One cool thing about this place is that there is a takeout option, priced per pound. I don't usually see that in buffets, so it's cool that this option exists here. All in all, I'll definitely keep coming here! read more

I never notice a buffet in the shopping center. I have gone by the buffet and never ate there until now since my dad wanted to eat there. I will say I am not a buffet person. I rather have my food fresh instead of being here for awhile. The service was OK. I wish I got my water refill when ai ask for it. Seems like you are only allowed no refills at this place. My rating is four stars due to people that dine there. I would had given the place three stars but since there were people dinning there for dinner I was nice to give it four stars. I would only eat there for special occasions and not a weekly habit. I watch what I eat and I don't want to eat because it is reasonable price for food. read more

China Wall Buffet - Whatever is this on my plate - Chinese Near Me - Concord, California

Rating 3.5 Cost per person for the lunch buffet was around $15. There was a section opposite of the desserts that is kept empty, I assume that's where they put seafood for the dinner buffet, but this makes the options look bare. For lunch, my favorite options include deep fried soft shell crab, won ton soup, fried donuts, and buttered mushrooms. I tried out the salmon, chow mein, and hot & sour soup, but the taste was different from what I'm used to, so I wouldn't go back for those. There was also a sushi bar and also a soft serve ice cream machine--which is my favorite part of the dessert buffet. We saw many people come in for lunch and grab the to-go boxes at the front of the restaurant, fill it up, and pay by weight. Overall, I would go again. The waiters come by often to clear out the empty plates, there is lots of seating, and it's in a good location. read more

I am giving it a 4 stars because this place is considered really cheap, and with that amount of money and the type of food they provide, it's super worth it. The place is not as clean as I expected them to be, but it wasn't loud and it wasn't crowded, so it's a good thing. And recommend to come here when you're decently hungry (not really hungry) because if you're the type that gets bored after eating same flavors over and over, then this place is not for you. One sad thing about this place tho, soda and other beverages (except water) is an extra charge, where I feel that other places would include soda in the price. Other than that, the servers were pretty quick when it comes to dirty plates on the table or if you need refills with your water. read more

Fun place, I'm not much at sitting down to eat, but they are kind enough to provide to-go service, and weigh your food. Works for me, all the fun and variety of all you can eat, but no temptation to overeat! Lots of meat dishes, some seafood, some soups. Like all buffets there are better and worse items, so be a little picky and it's a delicious place for a meal. Also a hit with our 3 picky kids who all want something different! read more
